BEHIND SCENES- HARD WORK~😭


Hey there my stars,

ESPAÑOL:

No me gusta comentar las partes desgastantes de lo que es un comic, pero querĂ­a abrirme con ustedes para mostrar la realidad que es enfrentarse a hacer esto cada semana.

Hoy me estuvo rondando un pensamiento "Renuncia, es una locura que hagas esto" Me dio miedo pensar que efectivamente tiene certeza esto. Es imposible, aun con la ayuda que tengo de mis queridos artistas, usando el dinero desde mis bolsillos,... no puedo tener terminado un capĂ­tulo cada 7 dĂ­as. No hay forma, llevamos 6 dias aproximadamente, y apenas vamos a mitad del capĂ­tulo. Me preocupa porque esto me desgasta, los dĂ­as se acaban rĂĄpido y son los mismos, creo que fĂĄcil paso sentada unas 18 horas. Haciendo por el momento puro lineart,  pero aaa...no solo eso, tambiĂ©n tengo que tener en mente una historia, los storyboards, que me confirmen los editores, detalles finales, en fin, todavĂ­a queda mucho, ni en fines de semana puedo descansar. A veces me quiero dar el gusto de hacer otra cosa para no saturarme con hacer puro comic, pero cada dĂ­a que pasa siento que me atraso a la fecha de entrega e incluso, sabiendo que no puedo llegar a tiempo a ella. 

Saben que le dedico mucho amor a las cosas, no busco perder la calidad, o hacer un contenido que se consuma tan råpido como si se tratara de comida råpida. Intento disfrutar esto, que cuente algo, cada cosa, los colores, personajes, belleza. Pero no sé. Es inhumano para mí y para mis artistas terminar un capítulo en 7 días.

ÂĄDe verdad todo serĂ­a mejor si fueran las entregas cada 12 dĂ­as, incluso 10!

En fin, me cuesta esto ahora, ya que se pronostica un próximo estreno de mi comic, si les soy sincera, me siento mås presionada que nunca. No sé si rendirme, dejar todo esto hasta este punto, quizås no llegaré a sus eståndares, y jamås llegue. ¿O debería continuar, a pesar de cada vez atrasarme, con el simple hecho de mostrar mi historia?

Necesitaba sacar esto, gracias por leer, regreso a hacer lineart...


ENGLISH:

Hey there my stars,

I don't like to comment on the exhausting parts of what a comic is, but I wanted to open up with you to show the reality that it is to face doing this every week.

Today a thought was haunting me "Resign, it's crazy for you to do this". It scared me to think that this is indeed certain. It's impossible, even with the help I have from my dear artists, to use the money from my pockets,... I can't have a chapter finished every 7 days. There is no way, we have been approximately 6 days, and we are barely halfway through the chapter. It worries me because this wears me out, the days go by quickly and they are the same, I think it's easy to spend about 18 hours sitting. Doing pure lineart at the moment, but aaa... not only that, but I also have to have a story in mind, the storyboards, that the editors confirm, and final details, in short, there is still a lot left, not even on weekends can I rest. Sometimes I want to give myself the pleasure of doing something else so as not to saturate myself with doing pure comics, but every day that passes I feel that I am late for the delivery date and even knowing that I cannot reach it on time.

They know that I dedicate a lot of love to things, I'm not looking to lose quality, or make content that is consumed as quickly as if it were fast food. I try to enjoy this, to tell something, everything, the colors, characters, beauty. But I do not know. It is inhumane for me and my artists to finish a chapter in 7 days.

Really everything would be better if the deliveries were every 12 days, even 10!

Anyway, this is hard for me now, since an upcoming premiere of my comic is predicted, if I'm honest, I feel more pressured than ever. I don't know whether to give up, leave all of this to this point, maybe I won't reach your standards, and never reach. Or should I continue, despite falling behind each time, simply by showing my story?

I needed to get this out, thanks for reading, I'm back doing lineart...

Hola, quizå podrías intentar hacer los capítulos mås cortos o dividir los capítulos en dos partes para ir mås relajada hasta que cojas el ritmo y puedas hacerlos mås råpido, pero mås vale ofrecer calidad que cantidad, y con tanta presión te puedes quemar si no encuentras la manera de compaginar el hacer el comic con hacer otras cosas que te gusten, porque podrías acabar odiando el comic a pesar de que era tu sueño hacerlo. No sé si webtoon te ofrece la posibilidad de hacer capítulos mås cortos, aunque creo haber visto webtoons oficiales con capítulos cortos también pero quizå depende de algo y yo no conozco sobre el tema. Espero que poco a poco puedas llevar mejor lo del comic y que se reduzca esta presión y estas ganas de abandonar lo que te gusta. Seguro que encuentras la manera de hacer lo que te gusta sin quemarte en el intento. Muchos ånimos!

I am a new patron but is this comic also through webtoons? I’m not sure how they work but I have seen other artists that stack their comic load so they have 5 pages completed or 10 pages completed ahead of time to give more cushion. I think even releasing monthly should be fine too! I don’t think it’s worth stressing yourself and making yourself sick to get a chapter done weekly! ❀

Madre mĂ­a, Karla! CuĂĄnta presiĂłn tienes, es normal que estĂ©s hasta arriba de estrĂ©s. Pero comprende una cosa: es tu primera vez haciendo un cĂłmic y es natural que tu inexperiencia estĂ© jugando en tu contra (vaya, y mĂĄs en un proyecto de Webtoon, tiene muchĂ­simo mĂ©rito y presiĂłn, me quito el sombrero). Con el tiempo aprenderĂĄs a hacerlo mĂĄs rĂĄpido e incluso mejor! No creo que tengamos derecho a decidir por ti quĂ© hacer con tu cĂłmic, pero lo que sĂ­ tienes que tener clarĂ­simo es que todos estaremos para apoyarte sin importar el camino que tomes, la salud mental es muy importante y hay que respetarlo. Espero que decidas lo correcto y que estamos muy agradecidos de que abras tu cora y que muestres tus vulnerabilidades y te desahogues, debe ser muy difĂ­cil cargar con el peso de tanta divinidad (7u7)r JAJAJ Y si decides quedarte afĂ©rrate a algo que te haga sentir relajada y menos estresada! (a mĂ­ me funcionan las duchas calentitas y el lo-fi XD) ¥Ánimos! 🧡✹

Sorry if I missed something - is your comic becoming a Webtoon original? Like paid by Webtoon to make it? If so, maybe you need to work on your contract with them, because the production schedule is too much! Of course it’s stressful, you don’t need to feel bad for wanting more time. You’re not a machine. You shouldn’t be expected to produce like one. If you’re not being paid by Webtoon, I would say to release at the pace that you’re comfortable with. There’s nothing saying you can’t release every 2 weeks instead of 1. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. If it’s possible, see if you can take a day or two to yourself. I know it will feel like a loss of time, but breaks are important for your mental and physical well being.

Oh Karla T^T This is so stressful and so inhumane ... I have heard a lot of things like this for webtoon creators and I am so sorry that you don't get to breathe, this is terrible! I also wanted to applaud you for coming this far, I am very proud of you!!! It is such a difficult decision. I know if you don't give up, you will make it, but at the expense of your (and your team's) well-being. Would you consider talking to other webtoon creators? I believe they are very likely to experience the same way that you do. Usually they have their social media account on webtoon. Perhaps they can help you to make a better decision? No matter what decision you take, your stars are always by your side! Don't be afraid, we got you! \o/ Thank you for being honest and sharing this with us ♄

Kali 😭 I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. I’ve been doing my comic for almost 4 years now but I have never had any deadlines that weren’t my own. I know that a lot of creators working for WEBTOON sacrifice their quality in art to make their deadlines. I am with you in not willing to do that! It can make it harder. Over my four years I’ve learned to make a 40 panel comic in under 40 hours without a dip in the quality of art. If this offers you any hope, you WILL learn shortcuts and get into a routine that makes you save time and quality! That being said, learning those things is much easier if you have your own schedule you follow. The one week deadline is horrendous in my opinion. I am blessed to have my own deadlines. Whatever you choose, if you choose to continue or stop and make your comic in your own free time, I will support you! Please take care of yourself. You know what’s best for you. Thank you for sharing this with us ♄
